We pick out the best - and weirdest - things coming out of Brazil.

'Exciting', 'inexperienced' and 'disappointing'. Are those the three words you'd use to sum up the England team? Cambridge University have found the three most-used words to describe each World Cup side. No surprises when it comes to Uruguay.

Semi-final gets the brush-off

There's no point in glossing over it - Argentina v Holland was not a classic whichever way you looked at it.

Arjen Robben's son last night discovered that his hair would go the same way as his old man and recede before the age of 21. The poor lad's night was then made even worse when Holland lost the penalty shoot-out.

Models get scouted in the strangest of places - and now the World Cup can be added to that list. 17-year-old Axelle Despiegelaere's face went viral after she was snapped supporting her beloved Belgium at the World Cup and she's since been offered a modelling contract with global beauty brand L'Oreal.

Canned laughter

When he accepted this pre-World Cup offer to advertise a well-known fizzy drink, Neymar might have borrowed the slogan from a rival brand…’what’s the worst that could happen?’ Er…

He’s kept us entertained with his schoolboy pranks and fervent singing of the national anthem, but poor old David Luiz was an emotional wreck at the end of the Germany game.

In this heart-wrenching interview (which may not quite be an exact translation) the defender admits he had to get forward as Fred was the only alternative, should have called a taxi for Maicon, but was grateful PSG had not yet found the receipt after wisely deciding to hand Chelsea £50m for his services.

The gift that keeps on giving

Just when he thought it was safe to dip his toe back in the managerial waters, David Moyes was forced back into the shadows by this cruel tweet.

Jurgen Klinsmann celebrated Germany’s demolition of Brazil by getting his family bakery to create some commemorative pastries.

The former national team manager’s dad bought the bakery in Stuttgart when his famous son was 14 – although none of the Klinsmann clan could have anticipated the game in Belo Horizonte would be quite such a cakewalk.
